General Description
The Programax™ 10 is a self-contained guitar amplification system which represents a state-of-the-art unification of advanced
digital and analog design technologies. The intelligence of microprocessor control, the precision of digitally-controlled analog
signal processing, and the rugged reliability of solid state linear power devices combine in the Programax 10 to provide the
performer with the ultimate in both tonality and convenience. The Programax 10 is configured in such a manner that any
combination of control settings may be stored in the amplifiers internal memory to be recalled at a later time at the player's
discretion. Recall of stored programs may be accomplished remotely by means of the Peavey RMC 2000remote MIDI controller or
by a number of other available devices.
The Programax 10 is capable of delivering over 200 watts RMS to its internal Scorpion® speakers, and incorporates many
popular features found on other Peavey professional amplifiers. Our unique gain block circuitry, incorporating Peavey's patented
Saturation™ circuit, allows the player total command of the amplifier's distortion and compression characteristics. A wide range of
equalization controls, including Mid Shift and active Presence, provide total control over the unit's tonal capability. The proven
full-range spring reverb system utilizes current source drive for maximum damping and performance. Ease of operation with
effects devices has been optimized by the inclusion of two independent effects loops, both of which can be included in program
parameters.
Towithstand the rigors of night-after-night professional usage, the chassis and speakers are housed in a cabinet constructed of
3" wood, covered with the strongest available 34-ounce vinyl. Ruggednessis enhanced by the use of heavily plated steel glides and
corners and by a steel-reinforced carrying handle. All internal components have been carefully selected for outstanding durability
and superb performance.
The Programax 10 offers performance capability previously unavailable in a guitar amplifier. In order to achieve maximum
performance and enjoyment from your amplifier, it is necessary to fully understand the function of each control. Please read this
